Yep, his strong points seem to be motivation and building a cohesive group, and his weak points tactics and transfers, so hopefully he'll do well as a coach.Originally Posted by ncfcog

A future quiz question might be: Which former Notts County player went to both Oxford and Cambridge?

I always thought Derry was a similar mould to Craig Short. Both would be a great "Head Coach" where a good director of football was in place to get a squad together for them. Derry listened far too much to Abbott in my opinion. He needed to follow his own instinct. Always worried me when he talked about 3 squads. One until Christmas, then one until Feb then one until end of the season, you can't rotate a squad that way and expect results. As it turned out, his pre Christmas squad was fine, then the other two were tosh and we went down!

I'm not sure a tactically naive coach is much use to anyone. Still, he wasn't our worst manager ever. Trew alone employed a few who made him seem like Pep.

He's definitely up there with the worst

As a coach I don't think he'll have anything to do with the tactics, surely the manager and his assistant will take care of that. He'll just put the cones out and try and make training enjoyable then wind the players up before a game, which he's probably quite good at.
